Ukrainian air defense forces successfully intercepted 33 out of 50 drones launched by Russia overnight, according to a statement from the air force on Friday. The report indicated that 9 drones were “lost,” referring to Ukraine‘s electronic warfare tactics that redirected some Russian drones, while one drone veered off towards Romania.
The military noted that hostile attack drones struck facilities in the Odesa region, and the debris from downed enemy drones caused damage to buildings belonging to institutions, private businesses, and residences in the Kharkiv, Cherkasy, and Kyiv regions, as communicated via the Telegram messaging platform.
Additionally, port infrastructure in the Danube region was targeted during the assault. A regional official from Kyiv reported that a child sustained injuries due to falling debris from the intercepted drones during the incident.
